I have a Raleigh Randonneur from the early 90s. It's been well looked after, with many years of regular use, often heavily loaded. The frame was slightly dented at the back of the seat tube by a bike shop many years ago. All components apart from front & back rack have been replaced over time.

Q2. What should I check to help decide if I need to replace this much loved old bike?

(When is it time to retire a bike?)

A2. It depends if the dent interferes with seat post adjustment. If not, probably no worries. (Steel is very forgiving.) If there's any question, ask a professional to evaluate it (and be prepared to pay for their expertise).
